Last year, Ricky James patrolled the middle of the defense for Columbia (Mo.) Hickman. This coming fall, James will be roaming the field Columbia Rock Bridge, joining a Bruin team that already has four DI prospects.

Along with the issue of moving, James says that his camp season has gotten off to a slow start because of an illness that kept him from attending.

James plans on attending camps at Tennessee and Tulsa. He has also received interest from Wisconsin and Kansas.
